Controls and features will automatically determine the fan speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is required. When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some airflow out the defroster and demister outlets and outer instrument panel registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor. In 31⁄2 minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase and the airflow location will change to the floor area. When in AUTO mode, the DATC system automatically controls the air conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and determines whether outside or recirculated air is required. Manual control of the A/C, air recirculation and fan speed are available in auto mode. If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual override controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To return to full automatic control, press the AUTO control.
